Why Biden just gave these missiles to Ukraine

[GilgameshofUruk]

Think about it, If North Koreans are already In the field and Ukraine is using NATO weapons isn’t it WWIII already?

Ukraine : the ultimate testing ground for old rich men

What changed his mind is him leaving office

Reminds me of Vietnam when politicians were telling generals what to target and what not to target. Wars cannot be won that way.

I love your work Johnny but a key fact that shouldn’t be missed - the range was not the limitation, the limitation was US telling Ukraine they were not allowed to fire them into Russia because the US was scared of the Russian response sparking a nuclear war. US people need to understand the importance and effects of that decision

[KalmoK]

They actually already have them, but they weren't able to use them without permission

[leef]

As far as I’m aware the missiles always had the range to hit the targets, the US just wouldn’t let them so as to avoid escalation, and after months of ukraine asking for them to extend the range they are allowed to use, Biden finally agreed

Im a American citizen that has relatives in both Russia and Ukraine, WE NEED PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! (This Bloody War wipped out a Generation)

[VolodymyrKozubal]

I’d say Ukraine wasn’t allowed to hit targets in Russia. Not that Ukraine didn’t have missiles. Not many but Ukraine had it. They used them to strike crimea which apparently isn’t Russia since the rule didn’t apply before

“This is nuts. But here’s why it’s ok”

[gerardgallagher]

Leaders must try to talk peace at some point as it can only get worse .

[nathanbyrne]

We’re letting Russia decide the language we use. ATACMS is not long range. They’re classed as short range missiles. Long range missiles go around the world, not a couple hundred kilometers.

Thanks for summing up an issue that several other news organisations have already done so and have down in quite a lot of detail..

[Zaffron-pcxd]

Can we all agree how stupid it was to "not escalate the war" which directly caused moral and bodies to drop drastically bc we held them back.

[aurijustriksys]

And yet it's just a pesky 300km compared to 2000-5000km medium range missiles. Russians use the ones that have +2000 range and yet Ukrainians are not even allowed to have anything that shoots further than 300km.

[williambennett]

A man who further instigates violence for political gain instead of peace…a true leader of the people

[AllofJamesSorensen]

Finally someone other than sweden steps in

[samuelkebede]

Really? That's why he changed his mind?😂

[bobbiebrownn]

Imagine putin goes after the weapon suppliers 😅

[adilsaria]

Biden: Well, i'm out. Let's escalate and trump handle it. Yabadabadoo
